    See Charlie has a vid about them on his site?

    Anyone tried one yet, does the varying flashing light make any difference?

    What do you think?

    100% re-branded smart Lunar 2

    …. Which IMO is a BAD A$$ rear light, I use one every day, and its awesomely bright !

    But be careful with the angle you have it at… It’s very bright for a rear light.

    How about a half-price and half a watt Cateye Rapid 1. USB rechargeable. I love mine and have ordered a second.

    Just looking at those yesterday but went for a Radbot instead, mainly because of slightly better battery life (maybe- according to this handy roundup).

    Should arrive today, will be my first non-Cateye rear light for a very long time (holy hand grenade just given up the ghost after many years of solid service).

    Had a Rapid 3 that didn’t survive the first battery change. The Rapid is USB rechargeable and a much better device with better flashing modes. For £15, it’s a bargain.

    I found myself nearly blinded by an oncoming front bike light, during daylight!

    Some lights are too bright IMO.

    Quick update on the Radbot: nice and light, very bright but not too bright I don’t think, unusual/eye-catching flash pattern, built-in reflector, seems well made, relatively well-priced, good positive click on bracket. Side visibility not as good as the holy hand grenade but not bad. Like.
